how to normalize microarray expression set

I have downloaded a database from GEO using getGEO and then converted it into ExpressionSets using GDS2eSet. Now I am trying to normalize it using rma. It gives me error :unable to find an inherited method for function ‘probeNames’ for signature ‘"ExpressionSet". Which function I showed use to normalize the expression set ?

a1<-getGEO('GDS4758',  destdir=".")
eset<- GDS2eSet(a1, do.log2=TRUE)
eset1<-rma(eset)
gds getgeo rma

Hi,

the error message resembles one in this thread. It looks like you should use different rma function, namely from oligo package. You could try oligo::rma instead of rma (after possible installation of oligo library)

Indeed, for ST arrays, you should use the oligo package, not affy
